According to our New Lexington letter there is a prospect that even Perry county will go Republican. Ben Butler is like a bald head nobody wants him, and yet when a party has him it cannot afford to lone him. There are now three parties in the field in South Carolina the Regular Republican, the Republican bolters, and the Taxpayers. Well informed Republicans of the Ninth district are confident that Mr. Robinson will be re-elected by an increased majority. Mn. Thomas Tootle, of Yellow Bud, is married. How Dickens would have reveled in such names as Poppleton and Tootle 1 ' "' - ' Grat. Bkown, who once buttered watermelons and ran for Vice President, announces that he is a square toed Democrat now. Hurd, 'Democratic nominee for Congress in the Toledo district, isn't heard during the canvas. He has all he can do to listen to the Prattle of his opponent. The Cincinnati Enquirer has not yet found out Walling's financial viowo. Wo understand Walling favors watering the bonds. Walling isn't much of a Doctor for fits, but he is "h on water." The Enquirer announces that the Hon. Jimmy Fitzjurrrld has returned to his wild deer, the Democratic party. The Enquirer does not betray any rapture on the event. Jimmy generally parka his deer. ' According to a Baltimore dispatch thirty cases of arms have been returned to that city by the Louisiana While .Leaguers to prevent seizure. The house which furnished the arms had orders for sixty cases more, which have been coun-termanded.' We have a letter from Dublin, this county, saying the Democratic meeting there last wtek was a dismal failure. Messrs. Peters and Groom harangued empty benches awhile to keep up appearances, and then adjourned and went home , with great unanimity. The Circleville Democrat admits that r our nominee for 8tate Senator, "Boggs, is a clever fellow." Boggs will run well, where he is known. He will be at the Franklin County Fair, with Capt. Taylor to introduce him. Our friendi in Franklin will do well to take a look at him. He bears acquaintance. The Dispatch is wailing for the whistles to wear out before the whistle ordi-' nance can be enforced. How can we expect the devllmaycare railroaders to pay any attention to our ordinance, when we don't interfere with the whistles in the very center of the city that shriek for the purpose of marking the hours ? Labkin G. Mead, tlie American sculptor, who designed and executed the elaborate jnonument to Lincoln, erected over his grave at Snringfield, Illinois, has just arrived from Florence, and will proceed to Surincfield to attend the dedication ceremonies which will be held on October 16. Mead is a brother-in-law of William D. Howells, of the Atlantic. Captain Taylor, is astonishing his most intimate friends by the amount and effectiveness of his work in the canvass. He is modest and unassuming in manner, but at the same time cordial and unattested, and he has made troops of friends wherever he has been. He does not pro fess to be much of a politician, but he has very decided views on labor, and various other practical subjects of legisla tion, and he knows how to express him' stlf with fluency and accuracy. The Sunday News has a genius for Plundering. If the editor will bring his gigantic intellect to bear on the subject for the whole of the coming week, he will discover that the State Journal has made no lamentation about the price we received for the city printing. The co nundrum we can't find out is, how the chairman of the Ways and Meant committee is going to save fifteen hundred .dollars a year by theNews bid, when the total cost of the advertising was only six tof finite 0OTaIr teen hundred. A Merchant of the Seventh Ward writes a dispassionate and well considered article for the Sunday News in favor of voting for the best man without reference to politics, for the county offices. In the course of the article he gives his prefer ence to Slrader, with the following capt tal summing up of qualifications, in all of which Mr. Strader is superior to bis oppo nent : ., , . . Strader ought to be elected Auditor because he will make a better officer than Hess; that is the prime question with the people. Mr. Strader is a man against whose character there is no just reproach; in nrder to keen ud a contest aeainst him it is necessary to manufacture lies out of whole cloth. He is conspicuous tor aoii- ity, intelligence, industry and energy. He is a first-class book-keeper, and has an experience of four years as Deputy Aud itor, wnicm nag smaoe mm wiuruuguiy familiar with all the duties of the office. He is thoroughly posted, by actual and protracted labor in the several depart-ments.in all the work of the County Commissioners, Boards of Equalization, etc. Everybody who has had anything to do with nroDertv condemnation, adjustment of taxation, land transfers, or any of the manifold and complicated auairs oi me Auditor's office, knows that Strader Is an encvcloDedia of information, and a most prompt and obliging gentleman. Even his calumniators do not deny his eminent qualifications for I he office. The following are given in the official report for 1870, and are represented as still unchanged, as the average wages in cotton mills in Massachusetts per week of sixty hours : Picker tenders, $8.25; rail way tenders, $4.25; drawing-frame tenders, $4.44; speeder tenders, $6.50; picker boys, $5.80; grinders, $9.80; strippers, $7.70; mule spinners, $11.75; mule back-side piecers, $3.14; frame spinners, $6.75; spool ers, !bou; warpers, fa; drawers ana twisters, $6; dressers, $14; weavers, $7.71; wood workers, $15.80; iron workers, $15 27; en gineers, $14 30; laborers, $8.75. The oper atives who get over $8.75 a week are skilled mechanics, and the number of them is Bmall. But let us take, for ex ample, the grinder, who has hard work enough, and gets $9.80 for sixty hours' labor. If he have a wife and two chil dren he cannot save much ; but some, and indeed most of them, have large families. From the 1st of October the wages of this class of operatives will be $6 53 a week. The wages of the laborer, who gets $8.75 a week for full time, will be for the next three months less than $6. The fight between the Eastern and Western Democracy continues lively. The Cincinnati Enquirer says the New York Democrats have marched upon the Grant financial platform, and that they are ".owned by the money lenders," with much more that is still more contemptuous. The New York World mildly calls the Enquirer an idiot, and characterizes the Pendletonian financial scheme as ignorant, blundering charlatanry. The Chicago Times sneers at both the others as idiotic organs of the stinking carcase Of anPa,t pJ- TKo T.nlliavilla Prtnwlo-- Journal and other Southern papers, disgusted with a people which persistently chooses Republican majorities in the National government, call for an Empire. There are also other styles of Democracy in stock, but these Bamples will do for you to choose from to-day, perhaps. The Democratic committees of the sev eral counties of the District meet in Lancaster to-day to nominate a Candidate for the Jewett vacancy. The first intention seemed to he for both parties to nominate for the vacancy, the same candidates already in the field for the full term, but there is such a pressure of Democratic candidates that this intention may be changed. We have Baber, from Franklin ; Finck, from Perry ; and Fritter, from Fairfield already in the field, and several back townships to hear from. We hear also of Colonel James Taylor (our candidate two years ago) as a candidate for the Republican nomination. Others may turn up. It is proper to remind our committees that in order to have their nominees reach the weekly papers before election, it will be necessary to act promptly. Tift editor of the Sunday News couldn't a-bear to see one of his own edit orials in print as an advertisement he wouldn't do it for two dollars and a half. Probably his readers would share the dis gust, if anybody should be found fool enough to pay for the insertion. One reading is surely enough for anything in the News. It ib only first class dailies that have their words stored away as pre cious gems, to be brought forth after five years and republished at great expense by admiring friends. A t-rbsonal fight between Job Steven son and Banning, of great piquancy and delightful indecency, has sprung up. Donn Piatt is on the ground lending a rheumatic support. The Commercial thinks be ought to go borne and give Banninir a chance. The Commercial seems to have overlooked Donn's damage ing dodge of pretending to be Stevenson's friend. As long as be kept that up he filled Stevenson's cave of despair. B. J. L. has been down the Hocking Valley. In reply to his inquiry " What about PirtT" he was told that that blat ant blatherskite had been thrown off by both sides. The miners of the Co-opera live Union would not have him, and he is such a pestilent bloviator that the operators dare not give him employment for fear he will stir up trouble again with the men. Go West, Pirt go West. Governor Noyes, the champion Re publican thief of Ohio, will speak in lo ledo to-morrow. Defiance Democrat. The editor of the Democrat is a high toned gentleman, who makes us proud of our profession. With a few more such honorable members as he, the Ohio Press ought to be able to rank nearly as high as barroom bullies. General J.S. Witcher was unanimously nominated at Charleston, West Virginia, Saturday, to fill the vacancy in the Third Congressional district, occasioned by the withdrawal of Itolonel Jonn Ball. Dr. Redfield (H. V. R.), in one of his letters to the Commercial, dated Montgomery, Alabama, makes a point against the pending civil rights bill which has been made in other quarters, but has never been made by any person of more re liability and candor than this correspond ent." He says: Senator Sherman, in some of his recent speeches in Ohio, says that the civil rights bill is necessary to give the negro educational facilities. I have much respect for the senator, but he never made a greater mistake in his life than to entertain and express such an idea. So far from giving the negro any educational facilities, it will take away all that be has in the South. In nearly every Southern State there is now a system of free schools for both races, supported, of course, in the main, by the white taxpayers. Let the civil rights bill pass in the shape that Senator Sherman voted for it, and every free school will be instantly wiped out in every Southern State except South Carolina and Mississippi. This is the universal feeling among the whites. Their indignation will find vent in destroying all the free schools, both for whites and blacks. No law can prevent them from doing this, and they will do it. Not one negro in twenty is able to educate his own children, and if deprived of the free schools they must grow up in ignorance. I have talked with the school authori ties and the Govenors of most of the Southern States on this subject, and I inow what the feeling is, and what the programme will be if the civil rights bill becomes a law. By voting for that bill Senator Sherman struck a blow at the educational interests of the blacks (and whites, too, for that matter,) which will prove fatal unless Congress or the veto of the President kills this most destructive measure. I beg of him to consider the life-long prejudices existing here, and respect them for the black man's sake, if not for the white. The principle that the law has no right to make distinctions between citizens is one that lies at the bottom of our whole political and civil structure. Whatever the law may do it must do equally, without respect to person , Nevertheless there are some considerations which have suggested themselves since the civil rights bill has been more directly upon trial, by its passage through the Senate, that have modified our own views somewhat. No one can doubt, upon reflection, that the freedmen need education among the uttermost of their needs. Without education no law can make them the equals in any respect of the educated white men with whom they must contend, at the polls, in business, or anywhere else. Now, if both races are opposed to mixed schools, as is represented, if both races are better satisfied to have separate schools, each equally supported by the State, and equally favored in every way, it does, make us give pause to ask the question whether the schools shall be sacrificed to the feeling which Dr. Redfield and others assert to exist, in order that the races may be forced into a mixture which is not desired by either? We have cordially indorsed Senator Sherman's vote. We have no power for patient with the abmrd prejudices of color. We have no doubt as to the right of every citizen to perfect equality before the law. We have been inolined even to hold that the law has no power to exclude any colored child from any school supported by the State, if he filled the requirements otherwise. Yet, we are not prepared to sacrifice the supreme advantages the utter necessity of a free educational system for the colored people of the South without thinking further of this matter. Lemuel Boggs for State Senator. Circleville Herald and Union. We are sure our readers generally will be glad to leatn (if they have not already heard) that the committees of Pickaway and Franklin counties, to whom the duty was committed, have selected, as an oppo nent of William Miller, of Columbus, Mr. Lemuel Boggs, of Pickaway county, as the People's candidate for Senator. We are happy to announce the fact. No man of his aee. in this community, is better or more favorably known than Mr. Boggs. He is a native of this county; a graduate f the Delaware (O.) University; an intel ligent gentleman; a good business man, and his integrity is unimpeached. In contrast with the Columbus trickster, a people understanding their rights and duties cannot hesitate. David Taylor Jr. The Circleville Herald and Union has an article of some length, from which we quote: The Winchester Times, an unwavering Democratic journal, on hearing of Mr. Taylor's nomination, Baid : " Mr. Taylor is an upright citizea and an bonesi man. There is a disposition, throughout trie district, to consider Mr. Taylor as a man of high integrity and patriotism, sound morality, substantial talent, superior business qualifications, of unflinching courage and excellent sense. If elected to Congress, be will make a tale and service able member, thoroughly reliable, vigilant and uaeful. The Washington Star of Friday even ing has the following : After the Widdino.

General Sherman leaves for New York to-night, and will return Sunday or Monday, and then will take his final departure for the West. Archbishop Purcell was exceedingly ill yesterday, and only his affection for the Sherman family caused him to persist in celebrating the nuptial mass. Hisillnees caused his feeble utterance, for his voice is usually especially distinct. During the reception he was obliged to lie down in an ubner room at the Sherman mansion, Ereatlyto his own disappointment, as well as that of the family, and the many guests who desired to make bis acquaintance. A Xenia correspondent telegraphs the Cincinnati papers: At the reception of Governor Allen at the Soldiers' Orphans' Home Tuesday, whisky and wine were spread on the parlor table and the guests so disposed partook. Card plsving wss also indulged in until one o'clock in the morning. In the midst of so manv children, the example thus set cannot but be productive of harm, and this being tbe first time sucn things have been tolerated in the Institution, it has been the cause for remark and just criticism.

Henderson, the Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis, states the total strength nf the London police on December last at 9383. There are 18 superintendents 184 inspectors, 770 sergeants, and 7113 constables. All these men are pensioned after a certain period, each man contributing about 5 per cent, on his salary to the common Buperanuation fund. At the end of fifteen years' service they receive a gratuity of one month's pay for each year's service; if incapacitated from service in the execution of their duty they get one-fiftieth of their pay for each year of ser vice up to twenty years; after twentfive years' service twofiftieths for each year; after twentveight years' service the pen sion is twoihirds of tbe pay.

Dr. Frignet has had charge of many important financial operations between capitalists in this coun try and hurnpe, and his opinions are en titled to fair consideration. His plan, though not complicated, could scarcely be well presented in less space than he his taken. In brief, it is a project for the immediate resumption of specie payment by means of a convertible gold bond and specie bank notes issued by the Govern ment. He believes that we can in this way come back to a specie basis without anv revulsion or serious disturbance of commercial or financial interests. The principle of security on which the issue of National Rank notes is now based is applied to the issue of the proposed Government gold notes, and the details of tbe plan are worthy of ttudy, whatever the final conclusion as to their merits may be.

BY TELEGRAPH TO THE OHIO STATE JOURNAL Night Dispatches. DELAWARE. A. Wonld.be Suicide Wounds Himself in Forty Different PlAeea-Cauae of tbe Act, Financial Trouble. Special to the Ohio State Journal. Delaware, Oct. 3. A man named Wm. H. Curran, of Mansfield, who is stopping temporarily at the American House in this city, made a desperate at tempt last night to commit suicide. He came here last Saturday, and during the week was about the city apparently at tending to some business. For a day or two past he had complained of being slightly ill, but would not allow a physician to be called. Mr. Johnson, proprietor of the house, was solicitous for his welfare and watched him closely. This morning a servant was sent to the room, but could get no answer. An entrance was finally made, and he was found in bed with his throat terribly mangled and cut. A physician was called in to dress the wou nds and foil nd that not only the throat had been cut. but he had also made an attempt to stab himself in the heart and had cut his flesh in many oilier places. There were in all forty different gasheBon hiB bodv. none of which were serious. The instrument used was a small penknife with an inch and a half blade. He was very much exhausted from loss of blood, though it is thought that he will recover. He explained that he had a family to support and was finding it very difficult to make his income meet his ex penses, and be despaired of living long- It is said by persons Here that ne had had soma domestic trouble, which may liave been a partial cause for his action.

Washington, Oct. 4 Dr. Linderman, Director of the Mint, has submitted to the Secretary of the Treasury his reports of operations of the mints and assay officeB tor the uscal year ending June ou ot the present year, from which it appears that the gold deposits were $68,801,595, and the silver deposits and purchases $15,-122,151.The report makes a comparison of ope rations for the last fiscal year, with Ihe average result for ten years ending June 30, 1872, showing the following percentage of increase : In gold bars operated upon, about lib per cent.; silver operated upon, 397; in gold coinage, 121; silver coinage, Boa; tine gold, sou; nne gold bars, 226; imported gold bars, J40; nne silver bars, 619; imported silver bars, 60. The amount of specie in this country is stated to be, on the 30th of June last, $167,000,000. The estimate shows a gain n specie and bullion in the last two us cal years of $38,500,000. The amount of gold and silver coin and bullion in the world is estimated at Irom lu.uuu to rz,uuu millions. The present rate of production is. silver SSO.000.000, and gold $100,000,- 000, the two together being an annual addition of about 1 per cent, to the existing Block of specie. Silver City, Nev., Oct. 3. A terrible affray took place to-night at Walters's Defeat, or Lower J ustice hoisting works. Two men were instantly killed, two have died since, and a fifth won't live over night. There has been trouble among the trustees of the J ustice Mining company, two parties fighting for control of the company, one side being represented by Mr. Miner, President of the company, who appointed W.

This evening about seven o'clock, a party of men, headed by Mr. Kellogg, newly appointed, went to the Walters Defeat works. When near the works they were warned off. Instead of obeying, they made a rush for the entrance, when shooting commenced on both aides. Killed, E. W. Kellogg, M. Kane. Rielly J. Brown was mortally wounded.

New York, Oct, 4 Mr. Beecher's church was crowded to its utmost capac ity this morning, and there were as many on the streets outside unable to gain admittance. The church was opened at 9:30 a. m., for members only. Newspaper men and a tew outsiders were admitted. Tbe church was decorated with flowers and evergreens from desk to door, and in style that was very tasteful. Mr. Beecher ascended the platform at 10:30. Two or three persons attempted to get up a demonstration by clapping bands, but a hush from others checked it. Ihe opening prsyer was a masterpiece of pathos, an appeal for rest to every heart oppressed with care and sorrow. Mr. needier then read the Sermon on the Mount, and afler a hymn, delivered a prayer. The sermon ... f-m ll,. mnA I'Tk. ill ha No allusion was made to the recent inves tigation. Tllton Reiterates bla Accusation. New York, Oct. 4. Theodore Tilton has written a letter to the press declaring that after so many opportunities of prosecuting him for libel have been carefully avoided by Mr. Beecher and his friends, the present tardy indictment procured by District Attorney Winslow, a member ot the Plymouth Investigating committee. can he attributed only to the fact that the verdict of the Church committee fails to command popular credence. Tilton solemnly reaffirms the literal and absolute ruth of his charges against Beecher, and demands an immediate trial. Tbe Bridal Parly In Siew York. Naw York, Oct. 4. The bridal party from Washington attended St. Bridget's Church to-day. Father Mooney escorted them to seats, and before the sermon ex tended a cordial Welcome to the bride and groom.

Some time ago an ordinance was passed by the City Council ordering the opening of Fifth street, from Beck to Mohawk street. The property in the way was con demned and an assessment made to pay for the same. At the time the matter was pending in Council two separate remonstrances were gotten up and largely signed by neighboring citisens, claiming that the expense they would be put to would be greater than the benefit received. A number of the citizens who will have to pay pretty heavily, are still striking against the opening. They assert that the measure was put through by a couple of men, one of whom is a 8ixth ward Councilman, who alone will be benefited in the way of increased value of saleable lots. We understand that an attorney has been secured; and that application will be made to-day for an injunction. TYNDALL ASSOCIATION.

According to our New Lexington letter there is a prospect that even Perry county will go Republican. Ben Butler is like a bald head nobody wants him, and yet when a party has him it cannot afford to lone him. There are now three parties in the field in South Carolina the Regular Republican, the Republican bolters, and the Taxpayers. Well informed Republicans of the Ninth district are confident that Mr. Robinson will be re-elected by an increased majority. Mn. Thomas Tootle, of Yellow Bud, is married. How Dickens would have reveled in such names as Poppleton and Tootle 1 ' "' - ' Grat. Bkown, who once buttered watermelons and ran for Vice President, announces that he is a square toed Democrat now. Hurd, 'Democratic nominee for Congress in the Toledo district, isn't heard during the canvas. He has all he can do to listen to the Prattle of his opponent. The Cincinnati Enquirer has not yet found out Walling's financial viowo. Wo understand Walling favors watering the bonds. Walling isn't much of a Doctor for fits, but he is "h on water." The Enquirer announces that the Hon. Jimmy Fitzjurrrld has returned to his wild deer, the Democratic party. The Enquirer does not betray any rapture on the event. Jimmy generally parka his deer. ' According to a Baltimore dispatch thirty cases of arms have been returned to that city by the Louisiana While .Leaguers to prevent seizure. The house which furnished the arms had orders for sixty cases more, which have been coun-termanded.' We have a letter from Dublin, this county, saying the Democratic meeting there last wtek was a dismal failure. Messrs. Peters and Groom harangued empty benches awhile to keep up appearances, and then adjourned and went home , with great unanimity. The Circleville Democrat admits that r our nominee for 8tate Senator, "Boggs, is a clever fellow." Boggs will run well, where he is known. He will be at the Franklin County Fair, with Capt. Taylor to introduce him. Our friendi in Franklin will do well to take a look at him. He bears acquaintance. The Dispatch is wailing for the whistles to wear out before the whistle ordi-' nance can be enforced. How can we expect the devllmaycare railroaders to pay any attention to our ordinance, when we don't interfere with the whistles in the very center of the city that shriek for the purpose of marking the hours ? Labkin G. Mead, tlie American sculptor, who designed and executed the elaborate jnonument to Lincoln, erected over his grave at Snringfield, Illinois, has just arrived from Florence, and will proceed to Surincfield to attend the dedication ceremonies which will be held on October 16. Mead is a brother-in-law of William D. Howells, of the Atlantic. Captain Taylor, is astonishing his most intimate friends by the amount and effectiveness of his work in the canvass. He is modest and unassuming in manner, but at the same time cordial and unattested, and he has made troops of friends wherever he has been. He does not pro fess to be much of a politician, but he has very decided views on labor, and various other practical subjects of legisla tion, and he knows how to express him' stlf with fluency and accuracy. The Sunday News has a genius for Plundering. If the editor will bring his gigantic intellect to bear on the subject for the whole of the coming week, he will discover that the State Journal has made no lamentation about the price we received for the city printing. The co nundrum we can't find out is, how the chairman of the Ways and Meant committee is going to save fifteen hundred .dollars a year by theNews bid, when the total cost of the advertising was only six tof finite 0OTaIr teen hundred. A Merchant of the Seventh Ward writes a dispassionate and well considered article for the Sunday News in favor of voting for the best man without reference to politics, for the county offices. In the course of the article he gives his prefer ence to Slrader, with the following capt tal summing up of qualifications, in all of which Mr. Strader is superior to bis oppo nent : ., , . . Strader ought to be elected Auditor because he will make a better officer than Hess; that is the prime question with the people. Mr. Strader is a man against whose character there is no just reproach; in nrder to keen ud a contest aeainst him it is necessary to manufacture lies out of whole cloth. He is conspicuous tor aoii- ity, intelligence, industry and energy. He is a first-class book-keeper, and has an experience of four years as Deputy Aud itor, wnicm nag smaoe mm wiuruuguiy familiar with all the duties of the office. He is thoroughly posted, by actual and protracted labor in the several depart-ments.in all the work of the County Commissioners, Boards of Equalization, etc. Everybody who has had anything to do with nroDertv condemnation, adjustment of taxation, land transfers, or any of the manifold and complicated auairs oi me Auditor's office, knows that Strader Is an encvcloDedia of information, and a most prompt and obliging gentleman. Even his calumniators do not deny his eminent qualifications for I he office. The following are given in the official report for 1870, and are represented as still unchanged, as the average wages in cotton mills in Massachusetts per week of sixty hours : Picker tenders, $8.25; rail way tenders, $4.25; drawing-frame tenders, $4.44; speeder tenders, $6.50; picker boys, $5.80; grinders, $9.80; strippers, $7.70; mule spinners, $11.75; mule back-side piecers, $3.14; frame spinners, $6.75; spool ers, !bou; warpers, fa; drawers ana twisters, $6; dressers, $14; weavers, $7.71; wood workers, $15.80; iron workers, $15 27; en gineers, $14 30; laborers, $8.75. The oper atives who get over $8.75 a week are skilled mechanics, and the number of them is Bmall. But let us take, for ex ample, the grinder, who has hard work enough, and gets $9.80 for sixty hours' labor. If he have a wife and two chil dren he cannot save much ; but some, and indeed most of them, have large families. From the 1st of October the wages of this class of operatives will be $6 53 a week. The wages of the laborer, who gets $8.75 a week for full time, will be for the next three months less than $6. The fight between the Eastern and Western Democracy continues lively. The Cincinnati Enquirer says the New York Democrats have marched upon the Grant financial platform, and that they are ".owned by the money lenders," with much more that is still more contemptuous. The New York World mildly calls the Enquirer an idiot, and characterizes the Pendletonian financial scheme as ignorant, blundering charlatanry. The Chicago Times sneers at both the others as idiotic organs of the stinking carcase Of anPa,t pJ- TKo T.nlliavilla Prtnwlo-- Journal and other Southern papers, disgusted with a people which persistently chooses Republican majorities in the National government, call for an Empire. There are also other styles of Democracy in stock, but these Bamples will do for you to choose from to-day, perhaps. The Democratic committees of the sev eral counties of the District meet in Lancaster to-day to nominate a Candidate for the Jewett vacancy. The first intention seemed to he for both parties to nominate for the vacancy, the same candidates already in the field for the full term, but there is such a pressure of Democratic candidates that this intention may be changed. We have Baber, from Franklin ; Finck, from Perry ; and Fritter, from Fairfield already in the field, and several back townships to hear from. We hear also of Colonel James Taylor (our candidate two years ago) as a candidate for the Republican nomination. Others may turn up. It is proper to remind our committees that in order to have their nominees reach the weekly papers before election, it will be necessary to act promptly. Tift editor of the Sunday News couldn't a-bear to see one of his own edit orials in print as an advertisement he wouldn't do it for two dollars and a half. Probably his readers would share the dis gust, if anybody should be found fool enough to pay for the insertion. One reading is surely enough for anything in the News. It ib only first class dailies that have their words stored away as pre cious gems, to be brought forth after five years and republished at great expense by admiring friends. A t-rbsonal fight between Job Steven son and Banning, of great piquancy and delightful indecency, has sprung up. Donn Piatt is on the ground lending a rheumatic support. The Commercial thinks be ought to go borne and give Banninir a chance. The Commercial seems to have overlooked Donn's damage ing dodge of pretending to be Stevenson's friend. As long as be kept that up he filled Stevenson's cave of despair. B. J. L. has been down the Hocking Valley. In reply to his inquiry " What about PirtT" he was told that that blat ant blatherskite had been thrown off by both sides. The miners of the Co-opera live Union would not have him, and he is such a pestilent bloviator that the operators dare not give him employment for fear he will stir up trouble again with the men. Go West, Pirt go West. Governor Noyes, the champion Re publican thief of Ohio, will speak in lo ledo to-morrow. Defiance Democrat. The editor of the Democrat is a high toned gentleman, who makes us proud of our profession. With a few more such honorable members as he, the Ohio Press ought to be able to rank nearly as high as barroom bullies. General J.S. Witcher was unanimously nominated at Charleston, West Virginia, Saturday, to fill the vacancy in the Third Congressional district, occasioned by the withdrawal of Itolonel Jonn Ball. Dr. Redfield (H. V. R.), in one of his letters to the Commercial, dated Montgomery, Alabama, makes a point against the pending civil rights bill which has been made in other quarters, but has never been made by any person of more re liability and candor than this correspond ent." He says: Senator Sherman, in some of his recent speeches in Ohio, says that the civil rights bill is necessary to give the negro educational facilities. I have much respect for the senator, but he never made a greater mistake in his life than to entertain and express such an idea. So far from giving the negro any educational facilities, it will take away all that be has in the South. In nearly every Southern State there is now a system of free schools for both races, supported, of course, in the main, by the white taxpayers. Let the civil rights bill pass in the shape that Senator Sherman voted for it, and every free school will be instantly wiped out in every Southern State except South Carolina and Mississippi. This is the universal feeling among the whites. Their indignation will find vent in destroying all the free schools, both for whites and blacks. No law can prevent them from doing this, and they will do it. Not one negro in twenty is able to educate his own children, and if deprived of the free schools they must grow up in ignorance. I have talked with the school authori ties and the Govenors of most of the Southern States on this subject, and I inow what the feeling is, and what the programme will be if the civil rights bill becomes a law. By voting for that bill Senator Sherman struck a blow at the educational interests of the blacks (and whites, too, for that matter,) which will prove fatal unless Congress or the veto of the President kills this most destructive measure. I beg of him to consider the life-long prejudices existing here, and respect them for the black man's sake, if not for the white. The principle that the law has no right to make distinctions between citizens is one that lies at the bottom of our whole political and civil structure. Whatever the law may do it must do equally, without respect to person , Nevertheless there are some considerations which have suggested themselves since the civil rights bill has been more directly upon trial, by its passage through the Senate, that have modified our own views somewhat. No one can doubt, upon reflection, that the freedmen need education among the uttermost of their needs. Without education no law can make them the equals in any respect of the educated white men with whom they must contend, at the polls, in business, or anywhere else. Now, if both races are opposed to mixed schools, as is represented, if both races are better satisfied to have separate schools, each equally supported by the State, and equally favored in every way, it does, make us give pause to ask the question whether the schools shall be sacrificed to the feeling which Dr. Redfield and others assert to exist, in order that the races may be forced into a mixture which is not desired by either? We have cordially indorsed Senator Sherman's vote. We have no power for patient with the abmrd prejudices of color. We have no doubt as to the right of every citizen to perfect equality before the law. We have been inolined even to hold that the law has no power to exclude any colored child from any school supported by the State, if he filled the requirements otherwise. Yet, we are not prepared to sacrifice the supreme advantages the utter necessity of a free educational system for the colored people of the South without thinking further of this matter. Lemuel Boggs for State Senator. Circleville Herald and Union. We are sure our readers generally will be glad to leatn (if they have not already heard) that the committees of Pickaway and Franklin counties, to whom the duty was committed, have selected, as an oppo nent of William Miller, of Columbus, Mr. Lemuel Boggs, of Pickaway county, as the People's candidate for Senator. We are happy to announce the fact. No man of his aee. in this community, is better or more favorably known than Mr. Boggs. He is a native of this county; a graduate f the Delaware (O.) University; an intel ligent gentleman; a good business man, and his integrity is unimpeached. In contrast with the Columbus trickster, a people understanding their rights and duties cannot hesitate. David Taylor Jr. The Circleville Herald and Union has an article of some length, from which we quote: The Winchester Times, an unwavering Democratic journal, on hearing of Mr. Taylor's nomination, Baid : " Mr. Taylor is an upright citizea and an bonesi man. There is a disposition, throughout trie district, to consider Mr. Taylor as a man of high integrity and patriotism, sound morality, substantial talent, superior business qualifications, of unflinching courage and excellent sense. If elected to Congress, be will make a tale and service able member, thoroughly reliable, vigilant and uaeful. The Washington Star of Friday even ing has the following : After the Widdino.

General Sherman leaves for New York to-night, and will return Sunday or Monday, and then will take his final departure for the West. Archbishop Purcell was exceedingly ill yesterday, and only his affection for the Sherman family caused him to persist in celebrating the nuptial mass. Hisillnees caused his feeble utterance, for his voice is usually especially distinct. During the reception he was obliged to lie down in an ubner room at the Sherman mansion, Ereatlyto his own disappointment, as well as that of the family, and the many guests who desired to make bis acquaintance. A Xenia correspondent telegraphs the Cincinnati papers: At the reception of Governor Allen at the Soldiers' Orphans' Home Tuesday, whisky and wine were spread on the parlor table and the guests so disposed partook. Card plsving wss also indulged in until one o'clock in the morning. In the midst of so manv children, the example thus set cannot but be productive of harm, and this being tbe first time sucn things have been tolerated in the Institution, it has been the cause for remark and just criticism.

The gallant Secretary of a life insur ance company, being in command of a platoon during the late unpleasantness at New Orleans, struck up the gun of one of his men about to fire on a staff officer, with the exclamation, "D n it, don't shoot at him; we've got a policy on him." The Newsboys' and Bootblacks' Home of Chicago will soon be installed in a building of its own on Quincy street. The new Home will contain kitchen,dining-room, parlor, sitting and reading-oom, evtnnasium, dormitories, schoolrooms, and workshops. The value ot the whole property will be $50,000. To give some idea of the power of the new vacuum pan, just completed at the Tredegar works, for a Cuban planter, we learn that if one of our Richmond belles were accidentally to fall into it, she would be turned into a lump of refined loaf sugar in exactly ten seconds chignon, boots, and all.

Of this unfortunate class the estimated number is something over 50,000 in London and its suburbs alone. There are 22,840 public houses, 2204 beer houses, and 686 known brothels. In 1873 there were 73,857 persons taken into custody for various crimes. In 1839 three letters passed through the postoffice forevery individual in England. In 1873 the average rose to 29.

In Beecher's fall we sinned all. Now a correspondent of the Inter Ocean insists because B. and T. are of the editorial fra ternity, that no editor should be allowed to converse with a married woman, save on editorial topics; but judging from the tone of some papers, the exception would give the widest license to the fraternity. Hull Lake Herald. The only addition to the full list of Sherman wedding presents, as published Thursday, is the gift of President Grant and wife, a gold watch, with face cover inlaid with diamonds and pearls a present of rare and intrinsic value.

The Sultan is going to prepare his son for the throne by putiing him at the bead of the army. This putting boys at the bead of an army is' not always a safe in. vestment.

Nevertheless, if Abdul Aziz is bent upon shoving his eldest born into such a precarious position, let him cau tion tbe lad not to do anything to make the soldiers weep. The Virginia (Nev.) Chronicle states that a man who can move his ears like a mule, arrived in town on the train Mon day morning for the purpose of giving an exhibition. His name is Follett, and passengers who came up in the car with him say the manner in which-he will twist his ears around to listen to a conversation behind him is wonderful.' It is believed that his ears are provided with an extra pair of muscles, by means of which he is enabled to turn them in any directien. Supposed to be a native of LouiBville.

Three mountains rose from a plain, and covering an area of two and a half square miles and 1800 feet high. A tract of land rose from the ocean 1800 by 480 yards square, and connects with the coast. A strange exhibition is about to be given to the public by the manager of the Folies-Bergeres, Paris, in the person of a man tatooed all over his body. He is a Greek by birth, and named Yono- Constantinos. At present aged forty-seven, he was when young made a prisoner by a horde of Manchoux Tartars, who amused themselves by tatooing every part of his body in various colors. The torture he endured was indescribable. He often prayed for death, but he surviv ed the trial and he is now about to show the effect produced. " Miss Grundy" writes that at the re ception yesterday, in drinking a glass of champagne with General Sherman, she expressed ttio hope that he might return in. Washington as president. "Oh, nr. said ne; "mil i. 1 nave ouu...i,iii8 hotter; my position is for life."

Henderson, the Commissioner of Police of the Metropolis, states the total strength nf the London police on December last at 9383. There are 18 superintendents 184 inspectors, 770 sergeants, and 7113 constables. All these men are pensioned after a certain period, each man contributing about 5 per cent, on his salary to the common Buperanuation fund. At the end of fifteen years' service they receive a gratuity of one month's pay for each year's service; if incapacitated from service in the execution of their duty they get one-fiftieth of their pay for each year of ser vice up to twenty years; after twentfive years' service twofiftieths for each year; after twentveight years' service the pen sion is twoihirds of tbe pay. All pensions are for lite, and a liberal addition is made to those who have been injured in the performance of their duties. We print this morning contemporane ously with its publication in New York a letter addressed to Senator Sherman, as Chairman of the Senate Finance commit tee, by Dr. Ernest Frienet, a French law yer and financier. Dr. Frignet has had charge of many important financial operations between capitalists in this coun try and hurnpe, and his opinions are en titled to fair consideration. His plan, though not complicated, could scarcely be well presented in less space than he his taken. In brief, it is a project for the immediate resumption of specie payment by means of a convertible gold bond and specie bank notes issued by the Govern ment. He believes that we can in this way come back to a specie basis without anv revulsion or serious disturbance of commercial or financial interests. The principle of security on which the issue of National Rank notes is now based is applied to the issue of the proposed Government gold notes, and the details of tbe plan are worthy of ttudy, whatever the final conclusion as to their merits may be.

All foreign-born nuns have received orders to quit the country, and the same rule is about to be, or has already been, applied to foreign- born priests and monks. 1 he Old Catholic movement at the same time begins, in spite of Father Hyacinthe's troubles at Geneva, to assume an appearance of greater strength and solidity. Ihe Iale Congress at Freiburg received an account from Bishop Reinkens of the most encouraging character as to its progress, as the result oi a journey ne nad been making through uermany, although the number of members he ascribed to the Church 100,000 is nothing very formidable. Delegates were present from the Ameri can, English and Greek Churches. Two committees have been formed for the pur pose of discussing terms of Union, one with the Greek and the other with the Anglican Church, Dr. Dollinger being the chairman of the latter. As regards the relations oi me new I hurch to the State, the Congress proclaimed that the Old Catholics were entitled to their share of the church property, although thev did not seek the exclusive nse of it, and declared that It was the duty of the Government to take a vote in each parish upon the question of adhesion or non-adhesion to the decrees of the Council of the Vati can.

Delaware, Oct. 3. A man named Wm. H. Curran, of Mansfield, who is stopping temporarily at the American House in this city, made a desperate at tempt last night to commit suicide. He came here last Saturday, and during the week was about the city apparently at tending to some business. For a day or two past he had complained of being slightly ill, but would not allow a physician to be called. Mr. Johnson, proprietor of the house, was solicitous for his welfare and watched him closely. This morning a servant was sent to the room, but could get no answer. An entrance was finally made, and he was found in bed with his throat terribly mangled and cut. A physician was called in to dress the wou nds and foil nd that not only the throat had been cut. but he had also made an attempt to stab himself in the heart and had cut his flesh in many oilier places. There were in all forty different gasheBon hiB bodv. none of which were serious. The instrument used was a small penknife with an inch and a half blade. He was very much exhausted from loss of blood, though it is thought that he will recover. He explained that he had a family to support and was finding it very difficult to make his income meet his ex penses, and be despaired of living long- It is said by persons Here that ne had had soma domestic trouble, which may liave been a partial cause for his action.

Silver City, Nev., Oct. 3. A terrible affray took place to-night at Walters's Defeat, or Lower J ustice hoisting works. Two men were instantly killed, two have died since, and a fifth won't live over night. There has been trouble among the trustees of the J ustice Mining company, two parties fighting for control of the company, one side being represented by Mr. Miner, President of the company, who appointed W. Kellogg Superintendent, day before yesterday, in place of Fred Smith, the present Superintendent. Trouble has been anticipated for the last two days. This evening about seven o'clock, a party of men, headed by Mr. Kellogg, newly appointed, went to the Walters Defeat works. When near the works they were warned off. Instead of obeying, they made a rush for the entrance, when shooting commenced on both aides. Killed, E. W. Kellogg, M. Kane. Rielly J. Brown was mortally wounded. The men killed are represented as most desperate characters. The affair causes great excitement at Gold Hill and vicin ity, shepler died during tbe night.

New York, Oct, 4 Mr. Beecher's church was crowded to its utmost capac ity this morning, and there were as many on the streets outside unable to gain admittance. The church was opened at 9:30 a. m., for members only. Newspaper men and a tew outsiders were admitted. Tbe church was decorated with flowers and evergreens from desk to door, and in style that was very tasteful. Mr. Beecher ascended the platform at 10:30. Two or three persons attempted to get up a demonstration by clapping bands, but a hush from others checked it. Ihe opening prsyer was a masterpiece of pathos, an appeal for rest to every heart oppressed with care and sorrow. Mr. needier then read the Sermon on the Mount, and afler a hymn, delivered a prayer. The sermon ... f-m ll,. mnA I'Tk. ill ha No allusion was made to the recent inves tigation. Tllton Reiterates bla Accusation. New York, Oct. 4. Theodore Tilton has written a letter to the press declaring that after so many opportunities of prosecuting him for libel have been carefully avoided by Mr. Beecher and his friends, the present tardy indictment procured by District Attorney Winslow, a member ot the Plymouth Investigating committee. can he attributed only to the fact that the verdict of the Church committee fails to command popular credence. Tilton solemnly reaffirms the literal and absolute ruth of his charges against Beecher, and demands an immediate trial. Tbe Bridal Parly In Siew York. Naw York, Oct. 4. The bridal party from Washington attended St. Bridget's Church to-day. Father Mooney escorted them to seats, and before the sermon ex tended a cordial Welcome to the bride and groom.

Some time ago an ordinance was passed by the City Council ordering the opening of Fifth street, from Beck to Mohawk street. The property in the way was con demned and an assessment made to pay for the same. At the time the matter was pending in Council two separate remonstrances were gotten up and largely signed by neighboring citisens, claiming that the expense they would be put to would be greater than the benefit received. A number of the citizens who will have to pay pretty heavily, are still striking against the opening. They assert that the measure was put through by a couple of men, one of whom is a 8ixth ward Councilman, who alone will be benefited in the way of increased value of saleable lots. We understand that an attorney has been secured; and that application will be made to-day for an injunction. TYNDALL ASSOCIATION.
